@goingape . I’ve been wanting to start a skin care routine, but I don’t know what product to use. I have a few acne scars and light brown spotting from aging. What cream do you recommend for that? I don’t care about the cost I just want something that I will actually see results with using.

My elbow is healing. I’m wondering how long it will be to completely feel better. I want to get back to lifting weights with it. I’m also wondering why my elbow joint was too weak for me to stand on my hands with my feet against the wall. My joint literally gave out when I got vertical. Oh well, some things in life are a…

Today is a good day for my weight-loss journey. I’m back to 160 lbs. In years past, I would diet and lose from 160, but during Covid, I let my weight go all the way up to 198 lbs. I’m not sure of my exact goal weight. I’ll decide when I get there. I’m thinking it will be anywhere in the range of 125 to 140 pounds. The…

Rachelrjh Friday Pw:163 Cw:162 lbs. Sprained elbow this week. I was trying to do a wall walk at my gym. It didn’t go well. I heard a pop and I was down. Now, I can’t lift with that arm for at least two weeks. My instructor asked how it happened? I suppose my elbow ligaments can’t support my weight! I don’t know, but I do…

I ate too much coconut cake celebrating Easter. :# Tomorrow is a new day. I froze the other half so I won’t touch it the rest of the week. o:)

Rachelrjh Friday weigh in CW: 166 pounds I twisted my ankle and can’t exercise for a week, so my plan is to consume less calories until I can workout again. I’m hoping it goes well. My goal is to lose a pound a week and stay in the green.

Hi team. Welcome to all the new members. I'm Rachel, a mom to two teens, a wife, and a high school physics teacher. I've been on this team since January. My starting weight was 198 pounds (on Xmas) and I've since dropped to about 171.5 pounds. I've been fluctuating between 168 and 172 pounds since mid March. I don't weigh…

I went off the rails the last two days. I literally ate over 3800 calories today and over 2800 yesterday. I’m not sure why I did it, but I am worried my size 10 jeans that I recently bought won’t fit me after my two day binge. So I’ve decided to slow my pace at losing to 1 pound a week, so now if I exercise each day I can…

@minstrelofsarcasm I’d like to change my weigh in day to Friday, which means I won’t weigh in again until Friday April 2nd. Is that okay?

Rachelrjh Sunday Pw:173.5 lbs CW: 171 lbs I’m feeling good about losing. I’m a little sad that I’m still at my highest weight ever. Why did I let myself gain in the first place? How come I didn’t care? I remember trying on a pair of AE mom jeans size 16 last Dec. that didn’t fit me. Yesterday I bought a pair of size 10…

@sleepymom5 thanks for the compliments. I hope this week is better for you. Tracking calories and replacing foods helps me... I use refined coconut oil in place of butter, I eat multi grain bread instead of white bread, and I eat one serving of Lindt 70% dark chocolate each day. I used to eat way too much bread, butter,…

The top is today, March 6 The bottom is from two months ago on Jan 1. 25 pound difference and doing body weight exercising.

@podperson1- if you’re shopping for a new scale, I like my Fitindex that I got off of Amazon. The fitindex app is real convenient and if you have apple then it syncs great with the Apple Health App. My weight is all over the place too depending on what and when I eat. I weigh in first thing in the morning and in the pm on…

Rachelrjh Sunday PW: 181 CW: 178 pounds Hi I’m Rachel, my highest weight was in Dec. 25 of last year of 198 pounds. This community group has been great to help keep me on track to lose weight. My goal is to get down to 140 by my 40th bday in Nov. and to maintain from there for the rest of my life... no more rollercoasters…

That’s wild how my weight fluctuated..178 on Friday, 181 on Sunday and Monday, and now back to 178 lbs, thank goodness, I’m glad I recorded it. This time last year I would have gotten so frustrated and given up. Thanks for the supportive comments everyone gave me. I hope you are having a good week.

Rachelrjh CW: 181 PW: 181 Well on Friday I was 178 pounds. I went and got my 2nd covid vaccine that day. Everything went downhill over the weekend. I was taking NyQuil to fight the flu-like symptoms which made me hungry so I ate like I wasn’t on a diet. I put on 3 pounds from one day of binging. I’m hoping to get my energy…

My account has gotten spammed. I keep getting friend requests from people who have naked women as their profile pic. If it happens again I’m sending all my MFP email straight to junk.

Hi Debbie, I have to be careful with stop when full. I have to give myself 20 minutes or more for my body to tell itself it’s full. I’m an emotional eater. That has been the culprit of weight gain for me my whole life. My goal is to eat when hungry and track my calories with the MFP app. I will feel full with the minimum…

Rachelrjh Starting weight Xmas 2020: 198 lbs. Weigh in day Sunday PW: 186 lbs. CW: 183 lbs. By the way, I’ve been giving my weekly average weight in lbs. that I get from my Fitbit. I believe it’s a more accurate reflection of my loss. I hope this is okay.

Thanks for the reply @podperson1 . I was worried that you guys might say I’m losing too fast. I like the community here, and I also like what I’m doing right now to lose weight. Once I get down to 160 to 155, I’ll up my calories to about 1600/ day. Then when I reach 145 to 140, I will be back at 1800 to 2000/ day. But for…

I’m on track to lose 3 to 4 pounds by this Sunday. I’ve been dieting since Dec. 25 when I was at 198 pounds. I’m now at 183 pounds. That’s an average weight loss of 2.5 lbs./wk. Has anyone else had this kind of success? Don’t the people on the show The Biggest Loser lose a ton of weight really fast? I eat on average about…

Hoping this graph keeps me motivated. I drew in my weight loss predictions.

Hi, I’m Rachel. I joined the WNM group last month. My goal is to drop my pounds in increments of 10 until I get to my goal weight of 130 to 140ish. I’m currently at 186. I turn 40 in November so I suppose that would be a great time to be at my ideal weight. When I reach my ideal weight it will be my third time since my…
